George W. Bush had plenty of opportunities to speak up. January 6th. The January 6th Committee. Trump’s return to power. Mostly silence. But now he’s stepping back into politics to help Republican senators get reelected? Yeah. I have some thoughts.

My new favorite news photo. The ugliness of these people just leaps right out at you.
Reuters photo (I checked that it's real) showing Trump glaring belligerently at the camera, with Melania behind him looking like she'd like to rip the photographers throat out, and Xi watching them both with a mild bemused expression.

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.
